‘curtain Up’ Offering 9 Works This Year
Filed Under Shower Curtain | Posted on November 18, 2008
There are nine works in the Curtain Up 2008 dance celebration, all by local independent choreographers, some making their debuts at Curtain Up, some returning.
This is the event’s 19th year, and “in retrospect,” says Arts and Culture Authority dance department head Nili Cohen, “the aim of Curtain Up has been achieved that of promoting original work by choreographers of already proven potential.”
Two making their Curtain Up debut are Rachel Erdos and Michael Getman. Erdos immigrated from the UK in 2002. Since then, her work has been seen at Shades of Dance, Intimadance and at festivals abroad. To Curtain Up she brings It’s Raining Inside, three people, four walls and frustration. Getman’s duet, Monday, explores connection. Getman, a former Batsheva dancer, has received prizes for his choreography.
The dances, each performed three times, are divided into four “curtains,” at Suzanne Dellal in Tel Aviv from December 3-13, and at The Lab in Jerusalem from December 14-18. Curtain Up will also go to the new Beersheba PAC and to Ga’aton in the North.
